This book presents an authoritative historical research on the vibrant decorative arts used in Mughal architecture across India and Pakistan during the reigns of Emperors Akbar to Shah Jehan (1556–1658 A.D.). Written by the renowned historian Prof. R. Nath, the text provides a comprehensive analysis of four major ornamental techniques: Glazed-tiling (Kashi-kari), Stucco and Mural Painting, Stone Inlay and Mosaic (Pachhikari), and Glass Mosaic. It traces the origins and evolution of these arts using key monuments from Fatehpur Sikri, Agra, Delhi, Multan, and Lahore. Supplemented with over 100 halftone illustrations and colour plates, this volume serves as an essential reference book for students, researchers, and scholars of Medieval Indian History, Art, and Architecture.
